M-T-G advice
I just received a bottle of M-T-G to use on my cat who has skin problems. I'd like to try it on my own hair, anyone have any advice for human use? Like how often, do I leave it in, rinse it out, etc. And how to deal with the smell, does it dissipate? I know they make a product for human use without the smell, but since I have this now I'd like to try it.
*In case anyone doesn't know what I'm talking about, M-T-G is a product to use on horse manes and tails.

I've used it before. I just put a couple drops of peppermint oil in it and a couple drops of rosemary EO, and some castor oil. The EO's helped a LOT with the smell. It's really not that hard to wash out. I just used my shampoo bar twice and it was all out.
What I have been doing is I put it on my hairline (which is what I want to thicken up) at night and then put a bandanna over my head and make sure it's low over my forehead so that it doesn't slip so much during the night.
Then in the morning--or as late as I can stand it--I wash it out. I haven't been doing it enough to see results, though.
ETA: I thought I'd add that over on the long hair care forum, a lady said she made her own MTG. She used a carrier oil (I think jojoba, maybe) and then bought flowers of sulfur and used a teaspoon, I THINK, and then added whatever EO's she wanted to make it smell good. That way you don't have the mineral oil to deal with.

I used it for a while. I haven't lately because I got discouraged with my hair, but I will definitely try it again once I get my mojo back.
The smell wasn't so bad for me if I applied to wet hair. I am lazy and haven't tried mixing EO's into it. I just applied to my freshly washed head and left it there until the next time I washed (every 2-3 days). If I felt up to it, I applied a time or two at night, between washes.
I hope it works on your kitty, and if you try it too, I hope you get the results you are after.
